There are 2 parts to this review, before, and during/after. Before: on the way to Cozumel the ferry dropped my wheelchair seat into the sea and were not able to recover it. They tried to deny responsibility, but the trip organizer, Nelly showed up and saved the day. Despite having NO responsibility for this, Nelly became our interpreter/representative with the ferry company. She sent us on our way to relax and have a good experience and she stayed and did the negotiation with the company. By the time our trip was over, I had a phone call from Nelly explaining the email that was already in my inbox and reviewing what it said. She explained what I needed to do to get my refund: what I needed to write, who I needed to send it to, and what documentation was needed. During and after: I was still pretty shaken from the way we had been treated by the ferry company during out taxi ride to the marina. Within 10 minutes of meeting Luis and Francisco, our boat driver and guides, we were all feeling better.These two men are amazing: funny, caring, dedicated to our comfort. I cannot say enough about their help - I am partially paralyzed and they made it possible for me to snorkel by getting me back into the boat after swimming; I am a large woman, so this was no small feat! Finally, there was the hospitality. We had plenty to eat and drink, but I have to mention how wonderful the food was that Luis prepared. Luis is a chef. We had an amazing fresh tuna with onions and olives cooked in soy sauce, prawn and fish ceviche, whitefish and mango ceviche, tuna and crackers, chips and guacamole, and fresh fruit. Since it was just my dad, my sister, and myself, we did not come close to finishing this gourmet spread, but it was so delicious that we had to try! You cannot go wrong by booking this trip. I hope to do it again soon. My dad loved it so much that he hopes to do it with whichever guests visit him at his time-share in Playa del Carmen. He already has his next visit planned for this August!

This was the biggest lie and scam that has ever happened to me. They lied straight to our face from the first line they spoke to us until the very end. Promised a snorkel tour, trip to the mayan ruins, and a nice "beach club" lunch. We received a glorified taxi ride; stuffed 6 people in a singular jeep and drove in the car for 5 hours with stops at tourist traps and staged "activities." The tequila factory they took us to was FAKE... they just import tequila to sell. The plants were dead, the displays were made out of plastic (creepy)...The "beach club" was DISGUSTING and filled with thieves trying to steal your things right in front of you and continue to lurk after you catch them! The food was made out of RUBBER. The water was muddy and smelly, unlike the other beaches on the island, and there were sharp rocks everywhere making it DANGEROUS to swim. Here's the kicker!! We wanted to go home early because we were shocked, and our tour guide made us TAXI home, claiming the jeep didn't HAVE GAS TO GO BACK. Every part of this day was horrible. I don't even know what we payed for... we saw nothing and were continuously lied to. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP.
